Wallace

The man Carl Wallace, 58, is in Seattle from Idaho for medical treatment, King County Sheriff’s spokesman John Urquhart said. He was last seen July 15 in Burien.

“The missing man has little gas, no credit or debit cards, little money, and did not know how to get to the freeway from Burien,” Urquhart said in a statement. “He is likely driving a black, 1990 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, Idaho license 1AEB756.”

His dog, a brown-and-white border collie named Frankie, is with him. Wallace is 5-foot-7, 180 pounds with gray hair, blue eyes and a full beard. He has a tattoo on his left forearm of purple roses with “Carl + Betty” written. He is wearing a gray shirt, tan shorts, tan boat shoes and might have a purple sweater, Urquhart said.

Anyone who has seen Wallace is asked to call 911 or the Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311.
